Location: Wilmington Delaware
This is WB Danforth drugs, like all pharmacies of their day, they made and prepared medicines for you to eat or drink. Often using the soda fountain to make it a little more enjoyable.
Besides customer medications, you could buy a patent medicine as well. There was quite a few to choose from.
If you had the flu, you would visit here and they would give you a cure-all. Whether it worked or made you sleeper harder is really not known. But this was in the days of both Opium and Cocaine, so anything is possible.
